PTFE Tubing for Electrical Insulation Applications - AWG & Fractional
PTFE AWG (American Wire Gauge) Tubing is designed for electrical insulation applications and some designs meet UL and CSA certifications. Tubing is available in Standard Wall, Light Wall, Thin Wall and Heavy Wall designs.
PTFE tubing in Fractional SW (Standard Wall), TW (Thin Wall) and LW (Light Wall) designs. PTFE tubing is the best in temperature and chemical resistance Parker offers and is used in extreme environments
A PTFE tube has a non-stick surface that facilitates flow and eliminates media buildup. In many cases, it is used to replace glass, rubber and stainless steel because of its chemical and corrosion resistance. In equipment applications, the vibration damping properties of PTFE are excellent at both sonic and ultrasonic frequencies.
PTFE AWG Tubing is sometimes referred to as Spaghetti Tubing. It is supplied in natural and available as a custom run in ten different colors. Customer service can help you with selection for custom sizes or striped tubing called Colortrax™, used for positive identification of media lines.

• Odorless and tasteless makes it ideal for food and beverage applications
• Excellent flex life
• Laser markable
• Resists ultra-violet rays
• Self-extinguishing plastic
Applications:
• Electrical insulation
• Circuit boards
• Wire insulation
• Protective covering
• Strain relief
• Introducer
• Stent delivery
• Cable liner
• Spacer
Certifications/Compliance:
• AMS 3653E
• FDA Compliant
• USP Class VI Compliant
• Heavy Wall (TFH) – ASTM D 3295, Class 4
• Light Wall (TFL) – ASTM D 3295 Class 1, AMS 3654C
• Standard Wall (TFS)– ASTM D 3295, Class 3, AMS 3653E, MIL-I-22129C, UL-224 300V 200°C, CSA 9032-01 600V, UL-224 600V
• Thin Wall (TFT) – ASTM D 3295 Class 2, AMS 3655B, UL-224 300V 200°C, CSA 9032-01 300V, CSA 9032-01 600V, UL-224 600V
• VW-1, UL-83
• RoHs
Technical Specifications:
• Extruded from virgin PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene)
• Chemical Resistance: Fluoropolymers withstand most chemicals and solvents except for Elemental Sodium, Elemental Potassium, and Elemental Lithium. Elemental Sodium will remove the fluorine from the polymer molecule and the other metals have a similar affect.
• All dimensions are nominal
• Random lengths with a minimum length of 25 ft for PTFE AWG and PTFE Fractional are random length coils, quantities are not continuous
• Continuous lengths and colors available as a custom run - Contact customer service
• AWG spaghetti tubing is also available in FEP and PFA
• Qualified with True Seal™ Fittings from Parker Fluid System Connectors Division Fittings (See Brass Composite and Thermoplastic Fittings and Valves Catalog CAT3501E USA)
• Use with TrueSeal™ Fittings
